I don't like corporate work environments. What can I do to make it better ?

I work in finance for about 5 years now.

So far in every job I have been in I am usually enthusiastic at first but then after a while I am bored and irritated with the environment and people.

For example:

I hate having to pretend that people at work at my friends when i wouldn’t hang out with them otherwise. I just feel like you don’t choose your colleagues. You choose your friends. So if I don’t have much to talk to you about , it doesn’t mean I am antisocial . It just means we don’t have much in common and I am not going to talk to you about the weather 10 times a day to prove that to you.

I hate being made to feel like something is wrong with me if from time to time I don’t want to attend company social events.

I hate people who have no social life outside of work and assume you are the same and therefore always questioning you about why you don’t want to attend EVERY company social event. Why can’t they understand that work is part of your life. It is not your life.

I hate the superficial conversations people repeatedly have at work. For example some people make the same jokes over and over and laugh at them everytime.. Seriously ??

It is really driving me crazy.

I hate the way people fake laugh.

I hate the way people clearly “kiss ass” with the boss to get ahead in their career.

I hate people that feel like they need to know everything about everyone and therefore end up being the office gossip and calling you mysterious because you want to keep your work and private life separate.

I just find corporate environments to be so fake and superficial. They are not human.

Are all work environments like this?

How can I survive?

Feedback please from those of you in other types of fields of work. Should I change career paths?
